IMPROVEMENT IN CHURN-POWER MECHANISMS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 217,980, dated July 29, 1879; application filed May 15, 1879.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JoHN N. BELLINGER, of Winona, in the county of Montgomery, and in the State of Mississippi, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Churn- Power Mechanisms; and do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, makinga part of this specification. I

The nature of my invention consists in the construction and arrangement of a churnpower mechanism, as will be hereinafter more fully set forth.

In order to enable others skilled in the art to which my invention appertains to make and use the same, I will now proceed to describe its construction and operation, referring to the annexed drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a side elevation of my machine. Fig. 2 is an end View of the same.

A represents theframe-work of my churnpower. a is a shaft, with crank B on one end for turning the same. On this shaft a is a wheel or pulley, 0, connected by a belt, I), with a pulley, D, on a shaft, (1, thus imparting motion to this latter shaft.

On one end of the shaft (1 is secured a flywheel, E, to one of the spokes of which is attached a wrist-pin, e. On this wrist-pin is placed a pitman or connecting-rod, F, which is pivoted to a clamp, G, and this clamp is, by a set-screw, f, fastened on the dasher-rod H, which has the churn-dasher I secured to its lower end.

The rod H is placed in slotted guides or arms J J of the frame, and held therein by pins h h, which will admit of the rod being easily and quickly put in and taken out as required. The dasher-rod H can be adjusted up and down in the clamp G and fastened at any point by the set screw f, and the stroke of the rod can be easily regulated by changing the position of the wrist-pin e to or from the center of the fly-wheel.

Between the two shafts a and d in the main frame is a verticallyadjustable frame, L, which may be raised and lowered and held at any point by means of a springcatoh, M. The frame L carries a roller, N, which is held by the adjustment of the frame against the belt I), and thus forms a belt-tightener.

The roller or pulley N is fastened on a shaft, m, which is projected forward and carries on its end a fan-wheel, 0. The roller or pulley N receives a rotary motion from the belt I), thus giving the fan-wheel O a rapid rotary motion.

The object of this fan is not only as a comfort to the operator during hot weather, but

also blows away all dirt, flies, &c., preventing the same from getting into the churn.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. In a churn-power mechanism, the combination, with the operating mechanism, of the belt-tightening roller N, shaft m, and fanwheel 0, as and for the purposes herein set forth.

2. In a churn-power mechanism, the adjustable frame L, with spring-catch M, roller N, shaft m, and fiy-fan O, in combination with the belt I), as and for the purposes heerin set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand this 28th day of April, .1879.

JOHN N. BELLINGER.
